When out from Egypt's bondage
The chosen children fled,
And journeyed through the desert,
They fell in need of bread;
Their cries to heaven ascending.
From famine-stricken earth,
God showered down the manna,
Supplying all their dearth,
The heavenly manna's falling
Along the pilgrim's way,
And angel food's our portion,
While his word we obey;
Yes, heavenly manna's falling
Along the pilgrim's way,
And angel food's our portion,
While his word we obey.
We too, like them, are pilgrims
AIong the desert way
That leads through earth to heaven.
The laud of endless day;
And as we journey onward,
In answer to our calls,
In rich and full abundance
The manna daily falls.
The heavenly manna's falling
Along the pilgrim's way,
And angel food's our portion,
While his word we obey;
Yes, heavenly manna's falling
Along the pilgrim's way,
And angel food's our portion,
While his word we obey.
Oh, bread sent down from heaven,
We'll ever feed on thee,
And trust our loving Father
For grace, abounding, free;
Till ends the pilgrim's journey,
And all our needs supplied.
We'll feast our souls in heaven,
With all the sanctified.
The heavenly manna's falling
Along the pilgrim's way,
And angel food's our portion,
While his word we obey;
Yes, heavenly manna's falling
Along the pilgrim's way,
And angel food's our portion,
While his word we obey.
